Until Proton gets acquired too.
Hopefully doesn’t happen but we’ll see!
It's a startup that was financed by a Swiss startup fund. I don't know if the founders are really that idealistic as to say no to a bunch of millions, but even if they are it may be out of their hands. If a buyer with the right price comes along I think it's going to happen.
Proton is 10 years old, so it's hardly a startup anymore. It was crowdfunded and is mostly led/owned by cern scientists (inventors of the www) and also financed/owned by a swiss non profit focused on helping startups, which in turn is financed by the swiss government (geneva to be exact)
Skiff was founded in the US by americans.
Do you see the difference?
